"Educators and students a like an exploring the different ways that 3D printers can influence and enhance the learning in the classroom."

Coming Soon! Micro Free Libraries Around The School
As the school year comes to an end, the A.C. Flora Media Center is planning for something big on a small scale. When the 2016-2017 school year starts, the media center is planning to set up book carts in two to three locations around the school as a free micro lending library. This will be done to make books even more accessible. Books will be readily identifiable by a bright colored backing, and students will sign out books from a clip board and return them to the cart when they are finished. With this approach in mind, the goal is to make reading geographically easy and intellectually interesting.
